Don't know how you're emulating adlib but the feedback requires bitprecision for some games as it goes haywire otherwise which definitely is noticeable.

But for most stuff just use 22050, nobody will notice.

Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but can anyone access Sarah Walker's website properly?

If so, doing a search for PCem throws a warning that "This site may harm your computer". I have concerns that the domain might have contained malicious code added from third parties...causing the warning message to be displayed. 🙁

It's been hacked twice over the last fortnight. I removed the last infection earlier this afternoon.

That's awful! I can't believe that cyber-criminals would want to hack your website and inject malicious content on your website. 🙁

It's a good thing that you've removed the infection from your website this afternoon. I'm hoping that you notified Google that your site is safe to visit again. 😀

The last time suspicious content was on your site was on the 27th of December.

There's probably nothing personal. There are bots who systematically scan IP adresses looking for known vulnerabilities to exploit.

Does anyone actually care if the sample rate is ~3.6% off? You're never going to notice it.

It's about half a semitone. People with perfect pitch will probably notice it. Most people won't, though.

I knew it. It looks like that the site has been a victim of bots scanning for IP addresses for vulnerabilities to exploit. 🙁

It's about half a semitone.

It would be, if PCem was generating output for 49716Hz and playing back at 48kHz. However, it's generating output for 48kHz and playing back at 48kHz. So people with perfect pitch won't notice, as the pitch is correct.

As I said the feedback requires exact frequency settings but it's not notable in many games. The mame bugs are probably worse anyways.

SarahWalker, I found a memory reporting bug on PCem: for example, when using it with 64 MB of RAM, reports 65152 KB, not 65536.
But a good feature for me would be that you add a Diamond SpeedSTAR 24 BIOS image to your site.

Diablo's lighting appears broken. Doesn't seem video chipset specific. Clicking cow a bunch of times also crashes.

Diablo v1.00
Windows 95A
DirectX 5
Trident SVGA and ET4000 tested
486 DX2-66, AM5x86 133
Old Video Card
"A little" cache

Thanks for that leileilol. When v0.7's in a state to run Windows again I'll give Diablo a go. There are at least two major CPU fixes already made so it's possible the crashing has already been fixed.

Incidentally, how slow is Diablo with the cache not on 'infinite'? Status window should give an idea. During testing for v0.6 I came to the conclusion that in Windows the caching system slowed the emulated machine down so much as to be completely useless.

5247846 : Please stop stalking me. It is quite unnerving.

@SarahWalker
I'm really sorry for stalking you, but there are features I really want to use on PCem.

Grab the sources, add the features.

This is not a feature of the emulator. If you want such a BIOS image, you're going to have to a) find someone with that card and b) find some way to dump it.

And this is for what, running Windows 3.0 in TrueColor mode?

@Jorpho Yes, I really want to run Windows 3.0 in TrueColor mode.

Strangely though, I don't care about it in the slightest. So I don't see why I should put in the work to implement it instead of something I actually do want to work on.

It's a ET4000AX anyway.

As slow as I remember! I never really used much cache with a 486 in the day.

@leileilol
Yep, I know the Diamond Speedstar 24 ISA is an ET4000AX-based video card.

@SarahWalker
Another video card chipset with TrueColor drivers for Windows 3.0 is the UM85C408AF, and for me would be good if you add emulation of this GPU.
